Holland College APA, PEI partner to offer Correctional Officer Training Program at reduced cost

Holland College’s Atlantic Police Academy has partnered with the Government of Prince Edward Island to offer the Correctional Officer Training Program to PEI residents at a reduced cost. The program will train students in skills such as intervention and de-escalation, crisis management, and ethics and professionalism. It will also include a seven-week on-the-job training component within a correctional facility. “Expanding our correctional services team and providing them with the skills and training to succeed and stay in the space long term, is vital in improving our system experience for everyone,” said PEI Deputy Premier, Minister of Justice and Public Safety and Attorney General Bloyce Thompson. The program will begin in January 2025.
